An hour passes, and another, and another. There are definitely more puppies to come but apart from more panting, there are no signs of another arrival. We hadn't seen any contractions with the first puppy, it just popped out, so we watch more closely for any indication that another one is due to be born. A quick call to the vet who advises waiting a couple more hours as there are no visible contractions or evidence that she is straining. Five hours after the first born, puppy no 2 arrives, head first and not in its sack.
She hasn't paid much attention to the first puppy and is only mildly more interested in the second one giving it a cursory once over. Both puppies seem quite contented though and are feeding quite happily. The recent arrival is a boy who has more brown patches and a longer tail than his sister.
